When did you start to buy?

So I’m 12 weeks and feel so behind and unprepared. Can anyone advise on when they started to buy and what they bought? This is my first so feel like I’m a fish out of water.

Whenever you want to! My baby was due in April so I got a few things in Black Friday sales. Whenever you feel comfortable or ready or as you see things you want. It’s good to space the cost out.

I’m 23 weeks and I just started buying

Don’t want to start buying too early but it’s so expensive so keep thinking the earlier the better 🤦‍♀️

I also have a list of bathing things, clothing(sleepers, onesies, footsies, pants, socks, beanie and mittens)from NB,0-3M,3-6M,6-9M, car seat, stroller, first aid things, cabinet safety latches, bottles and nipples replacement all from slow,med, fast flow. Pumps, storage packages for milk, milk warmer. Bassinet. Receiving blankets.

I started around 25 weeks. I was having a big baby so i bought 0-3 vests and sleep suits. Pram travel set, steriliser, MAM bottles, stock piled a years supply of wet wipes, i got plenty of nappies in sizes 1/2/3 hooded bath towels, baby bath, i got a few bottles of pre made milk. I didn't bother with a bassinet, i got a cot bed instead. Thermometer, pram suit, baby nail clippers, a load of bibs and muslin cloths, bouncer, play mat.
I highly recommend the little pickles market in cwmbran stadium if you dont mind second hand.

I’m 29 weeks and haven’t really started buying yet, plenty of time

I didn’t start until 30 weeks 🙈

Baby movements

So I’m now officially 22 weeks pregnant with baby number 2 and I’m still yet to feel him move. I had my 20 week scan not last week but the week before and everything seemed fine but have a repeat scan tomorrow due to not getting a proper measurement of his face. I’ve been told I have an anterior placenta too. Should I start getting worried yet ?? With my first baby my placenta was at the back and I felt him move around the 20 week mark. I’m just really paranoid as I have fertility issues as it is and have had miscarriages in the past and I’m classed as a high risk pregnancy with this one as I have strep B and I had gestational hypertension and pre eclampsia with my first baby so I’m on shared care with this pregnancy and I’m also on aspirin too which was prescribed by the hospital to take to prevent with this pregnancy.

Is everyone just done now and ready for baby or not there yet?
